I have an Origin Live TT combo. I would put it up against cd sources costing 3-4 times what I paid. If you can invest $2000 or so, I would opt for Origin Live's newest entry level TT the Aurora and arm (either OL1 or Alliance) with a inexpensive cartridge ($200) from Ortofon, Clearaudio, Grado. Plus, you will a phono section - perhaps a used one from Musical Surroundings, NAD or Grado. This will allow you to upgrade every piece (TT, arm, etc) over time as needed like a power source, arm, etc. Good luck.
Help newb figure out the best route for new setup
Hi, I'm thinking of making the jump from digital to analog. I've never had or used a phonoplayer before. There are quite a few things to consider when buying phono gear. Since this is a brand new setup i thought it would be great to hear what you guys think is the best route to go and what to stay away from.
Im coming from using CD's and flac files through a Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2.
What is a good brand model table?
Would you go MC or MM and why?
Thing to look for? Options, upgrades etc...
I need it to sound better then my current setup with the W4S DAC2 otherwise what is the point. In fact its gotta sound ALOT better for around the same price. Otherwise convenience, and cost for new music just doesnt make sense.
What do you guys think?
